Trader Vic's 151 Overproof Rum

Trader Vic's 151 Overproof Rum carries one of the most legendary names in tiki culture — and at 75.5% ABV, it carries the proof to back it up. Victor Jules Bergeron Jr. — better known as Trader Vic — was the Oakland restaurateur who invented the Mai Tai in 1944 and helped define the entire tiki cocktail movement that swept postwar America. His rum line was created specifically for the bar programs at his celebrated chain of tiki restaurants, and the 151 expression remains the most sought-after in the lineup for serious cocktail builders. Distilled in Puerto Rico and bottled in the United States, Trader Vic's 151 is a big, spicy, full-bodied overproof rum built for the cocktail techniques that made tiki famous — floating, flaming, and adding serious backbone to punch bowls and tropical drinks. The nose delivers molasses, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, while the palate brings big spicy vanilla with huge viscosity, dark sugarcane, tropical spice, and caramelized sweetness — surprisingly not overpowering given the proof, finishing long and warming with oak and lingering spice. Float it on a Zombie or Scorpion Bowl and watch the crowd react. Buy Trader Vic's 151 Overproof Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.
